The Consciousness Model

   In fact, the number of philosophical systems of which The Matrix of Four is a principal idea or outright basis, is so overwhelming that much like air being everywhere its true significance is often overlooked and unseen. The stunning amount and the nature of the corresponding lessons that The Matrix of Four reveals are indeed so provocative that the totality of it as an idea unto itself is often left unfastened among all the other individual and diverse applications. 

    The main lesson of The Matrix of Four as a whole pertains to consciousness and the refinement and development of consciousness. The Matrix of Four represents the transformational alchemy of dull leaden thought refined into golden enlightened mindfulness. If there is a philosopher’s stone that is an idea rather than a mineral The Matrix of Four may very well be it. Four, by way of The Duality of Polarity, is the simplest formation of completion. There is the positive and negative Thesis and Antithesis, and there is the Synthesis between the two, and there is the mostly unmentioned, unlimited alternative, the neither; The Nullisis.

    The Matrix of Four was once a steadfast held philosophy though it had a different name, perhaps many different names. Catuskoti is the four cornered philosophy, known as an ‘indivisible quarternity’ and a ‘suite of four discrete functions’ from Indian Vedic and Buddhist schools. The Catuskoti directly led to The Four Extremes of Buddhism: Being, Non-Being, Both Being and Non-Being, and Neither Being nor Non-Being. Catuskoti is also known as a Tetralemma, a fourfold system of possibility presentation.    

    The quarternity of Catuskoti reveals our own mode of thinking in first the basis of the thesis and then the contrasts that begin in the Tetralemma format. Tertralemma finds ideas in Thesis, considers contrasts in The Antithesis, finds agreements in The Synthesis, and activates thoughtful engagements in consideration of The Nullisis.

    The Matrix of Four, The Tetralemma from out of Catuskoti, automatically opens up situational awareness and situational consideration to more refined possibilities. The Tetralemma might have been so thought provoking that it became taboo among certain monothematic institutions. The idea leads to better decision-making processes, enhanced interpretive capability, the ability to detect information that does not add up, and the consciousness to formulate enhanced understandings of cultural, political and spiritual actualities, all toward refinement of consciousness.

    The Tetralemma was once popular across Asia and similar schematics were presented in other modes of thinking. The Matrix of Four is a threat to commands, demands and directives for it inspires consideration of the direct and unlimited alternatives. And the institutions of the world would prefer their directives and their interpretations go unquestioned, without contrast even. 

    The Tetralemma or The Matrix of Four is indeed so useful and so simple there is practically no other likely reason for its reduction of value as a commonly understood model other than the monothematic insistence of institutions and its threat to their dictates. Institutions would prefer their stories go unchallenged and their narratives obeyed in the most monothematic terms people will tolerate in a given time and place.

    It is entirely feasible the institution of monotheism itself is to reinforce the total disregard for alternative thought processes, and of course the alternative inspiring model that is Matrix of Four and the innumerable pertinent thinking models.

    Most religions and practically all monothematic religious institutions exist by way of preventing critical thinking and alternative thinking, and further imply that the answer exists outside yourself, in the religious construct. Religion and the religiosity of the state leads to monothematic insistence, when sometimes we simply require contrast.

    The Matrix of Four automatically insists we consider alternatives direct and indirect. It is so profoundly simple it inspires all sorts of profound questions in its consideration. It is present in numerous philosophies, metaphysical concepts, as well as religious teachings, and allegories, only without the fetters of religious or state institutionalization. ​

    The above cross reference is The Associated Consciousness Model. The Associated Consciousness Model can enhance our comprehension of others and ourselves. It presents a balanced midpoint and four quadrants which might be appropriate for a time, so as to balance, but which could also represent potential negative patterns as well. The Associated Consciousness Model provides a frame to perceive psyche and tool to balance psyche.

    The Matrix of Four inspires and leads to patterned associated internal consciousness through the correspondences of diverse symbolism directly and subtly pertaining to consciousness. The Matrix of Four expands universalism and connectivity of unity of humanity while at the same time instigating individuation towards patterned associated internalized consciousness. The wisdom progression of the associated internal consciousness engages our own individual being and increases our connection with the world as whole.

    Patterned disassociated externalized consciousness is reflected in ardent institutionalized zealotry, divisive partisanship, the pursuit for materialistic gains, and the typical functions of the basic, materialistic world without lessons, the pursuits of which degrade us all to a deeper and deeper disassociated externalized consciousness predicament.

    The more conscious one becomes the more constant the refinement of associated and internal awareness one has embodied. The less conscious one becomes the more disassociation and external awareness one has embodied. The Associated Consciousness Model inspires refinement through its consideration broadly and its investigation specifically related to your own patterns. If one wants to retreat to the mountains never to see another person perhaps the internal association is imbalanced even though it is often the optimum quadrant.
